cinnamon candles: describe your dream home

ohhhhhh my god okay. so i'm a big ol pack rat and my style can be described as the exact opposite of minimalist. maximalist? anyway. imagine a thrift store threw up the entire interior. the house itself would be like,, sort of cabin style? with a loft and a big kitchen and a fireplace.... and a screened in porch, and it's in the mountains somewhere and it snows all the time. there's a big yard for all of our pets and two rocking chairs on said porch for me and my partner... and there's plenty of spare rooms and a huge den for hosting all of our friends around the holidays. also, two words: twinkle. lights.

candy corn: what’s an unpopular opinion you have?

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say? Don’t live in and seek out sadness & anxiety. Stop worrying about what people might say or what they might do and start living however makes you happiest. It’s normal to be sad and you aren’t nearly as alone as you think. You will start living the life you want once you stop dreaming about it and actually go out and do it. Before you get into a relationship, please make sure you have self love, boundaries, and an actual want to be in that relationship. Self love is hard to start, but it’s a lot easier if you start with little steps such as stopping yourself when you think “I hate myself” and instead think “no, that was embarrassing/awkward/probably not the best reaction to the situation but you know what? It’s okay. I make mistakes and so does everyone else. They won’t remember it in a day/week/month. I don’t have to hold onto every imperfect thing I’ve ever done. I’m allowed to let things go and not say the right thing.” You’re not weird. Weird doesn’t exist. You and everyone else are completely individual people and you’re just being how you want to be. Don’t apologize for your interests and don’t apologize for being excited over them. Awkward things happen, no one else remembers them and you don’t have to either. You don’t have to be friends with anyone, you don’t owe anyone anything, and you don’t have to make everyone around you happy. Bad things happen, you will go through a lot of stuff you shouldn’t have to but that doesn’t mean you can stop living. You have to just keep looking forward.
